How's Your Fiscal Condition?

Hey! Thanks to Nolan Gray for bringing attention to this
Ranking the States by Fiscal Condition 2017 Edition

Research Paper / Study July 11, 2017

The fiscal health of America’s states affects all its citizens. Indicators of fiscal health come in a variety of forms—from a state’s ability to attract businesses and how much it taxes - to what services it provides and how well it keeps its promises to public-sector employees.

BLOGGER NOTE: Image insert shows CAFR for Mesa AZ

To get a sense of a particular state’s fiscal outlook requires consulting a state’s comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR), which, at hundreds of pages, is unwieldy for even the most dedicated analyst.

PLEASE NOTE: The lessons from this year’s study demonstrate that policymakers should take stock of both their short- and longtermfiscal health before making public policy decisions.

The quality of financial reporting also plays a large role in what is known about the states’ fiscal health. This report attempts to make available financial information more accessible while also stressing the importance of improved reporting. These metrics, when used alongside other information, are intended to help policymakers identify trends in state finances and respond with policies to ensure short-run solvency and long-run fiscal stability.

But in the Mercatus Center at George Mason University’s “Ranking the States by Fiscal Condition,” now in its fourth year, Eileen Norcross and Olivia Gonzalez calculate indicators of fiscal health for all 50 states. Based on states’ 2015 financial statements, Florida ranks first as the most fiscally healthy state, while New Jersey ranks the lowest.

The study ranks each US state’s financial health based on short- and long-term debt and other key fiscal obligations, such as unfunded pensions and healthcare benefits. With refinements in its methodology, the 2017 edition updates the version that the Mercatus Center published in 2016. It presents information from each state’s audited financial report in an easily accessible format and is the most comprehensive snapshot of state financial health to date.

Growing long-term obligations for pensions and healthcare benefits continue to strain the finances of many state governments, and revenue drawn from volatile sources . . . continues to threaten the fiscal health of top-performing states. Both trends highlight the fact that state policymakers must be vigilant to consider both the short-term and the long-term consequences of their decisions.

ARIZONA IS #33

The study also highlights how recent changes in accounting standards affect what states reveal on their financial statements and what we know about the states’ financial health as a result. Due to the implementation of new government accounting standards, states are now reporting more of their pension liabilities on the balance sheet, which increases the average long-term liability metrics for the states. States have not applied these standards consistently, however, revealing that there is still room for improvement in the reporting of state financial information.

Summary and Key Findings

The financial health of each state can be analyzed through the states’ own audited financial reports. By looking at states’ basic financial statistics on revenues, expenditures, cash, assets, liabilities, and debt, states may be ranked according to how easily they will be able to cover short-term and long-term bills, including pension obligations.

This ranking of the 50 states, reproduced from page 29 of the study, is based on their fiscal solvency in five separate categories:

Cash solvency. Does a state have enough cash on hand to cover its short-term bills?
Budget solvency. Can a state cover its fiscal year spending with current revenues, or does it have a budget shortfall?
Long-run solvency. Can a state meet its long-term spending commitments? Will there be enough money to cushion it from economic shocks or other long-term fiscal risks?
Service-level solvency. How much “fiscal slack” does a state have to increase spending if citizens demand more services?
Trust fund solvency. How large are each state’s unfunded pension and healthcare liabilities?

Bastille Day: Why It's Celebrated Today > Significance

It was my pleasure many years ago to help celebrate Bastille Day in New York City with the French Consulate at The Loeb Boathouse inside Central Park while Executive Chef for Special Events at that landmark location . . . usually with about 1200 people enjoying the foods and wines of France.

Published on Jul 13, 2017

The Bastille was a prison where political dissidents were locked up - it is celebrated annually on July 14th to commemorate the historical storming.

The day itself celebrates the french national motto, 'liberty, equality and fraternity,'

ICYMI > Highrise + BothanSpy More CIA Listening Posts

Highrise

13 July, 2017

Today, July 13th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes documents from the Highrise project of the CIA. HighRise is an Android application designed for mobile devices running Android 4.0 to 4.3. It provides a redirector function for SMS messaging that could be used by a number of IOC tools that use SMS messages for communication between implants and listening posts. HighRise acts as a SMS proxy that provides greater separation between devices in the field ("targets") and the listening post (LP) by proxying "incoming" and "outgoing" SMS messages to an internet LP.

Highrise provides a communications channel between the HighRise field operator and the LP with a TLS/SSL secured internet communication.

Vault 7 Leaks : CIA Android Hacking Tool “HighRise” Steals Data From Compromised Android Phones via SMS – WikiLeaks

BALAJI N - July 13, 2017

WikiLeaks Revealed a CIA Secret Document of Android Mobile Hacking Tool called “HighRise” steal the victims Android smartphones data and send to CIA Control server using SMS messages for communication between Victims and CIA Controlled listener posts.

WikiLeaks Revealed Few days before Another CIA Cyber Weapons called “BothanSpy” and “Gyrfalcon” steals the SSH Credentials from both Windows and Linux Platform.

Highrise is a Malicious Android Application Developed by CIA for mobile devices running Android 4.0 to 4.3 with Redirection Function for SMS messaging. And it acts as an SMS proxy for communication between implants and listening posts.

This Application separates the targets and listening port by an act as a proxy and incoming SMS Messages received by HighRise via the Internet and Send “outgoing” SMS messages via the HighRise host to CIA listener.
HighRise Provide Highly Encrypted communication channels between Highrise filed operator (targeted victims) and listener posts over TLS/SSL secured internet communications.

BothanSpy

6 July, 2017

Today, July 6th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes documents from the BothanSpy and Gyrfalcon projects of the CIA. The implants described in both projects are designed to intercept and exfiltrate SSH credentials but work on different operating systems with different attack vectors.

BothanSpy is an implant that targets the SSH client program Xshell on the Microsoft Windows platform and steals user credentials for all active SSH sessions. These credentials are either username and password in case of password-authenticated SSH sessions or username, filename of private SSH key and key password if public key authentication is used. BothanSpy can exfiltrate the stolen credentials to a CIA-controlled server (so the implant never touches the disk on the target system) or save it in an enrypted file for later exfiltration by other means. BothanSpy is installed as a Shellterm 3.x extension on the target machine.

Gyrfalcon is an implant that targets the OpenSSH client on Linux platforms (centos,debian,rhel,suse,ubuntu).

The implant can not only steal user credentials of active SSH sessions, but is also capable of collecting full or partial OpenSSH session traffic. All collected information is stored in an encrypted file for later exfiltration. It is installed and configured by using a CIA-developed root kit (JQC/KitV) on the target machine.

How CIA Agents Covertly Steal Data From Hacked Smartphones (Without Internet)

Thursday, July 13, 2017

WikiLeaks has today published the 16th batch of its ongoing Vault 7 leak, this time instead of revealing new malware or hacking tool, the whistleblower organisation has unveiled how CIA operatives stealthy collect and forward stolen data from compromised smartphones.
Previously we have reported about several CIA hacking tools, malware and implants used by the agency to remotely infiltrate and steal data from the targeted systems or smartphones.
However, this time neither Wikileaks nor the leaked CIA manual clearly explains how the agency operatives were using this tool.

Source: http://thehackernews.com/2017/07/cia-smartphone-hacking-tool.html

". . . But, since we have been covering every CIA leak from the very first day, we have understood a possible scenario and have illustrated how this newly revealed tool was being used.
Explained: How CIA Highrise Project Works

In general, the malware uses the internet connection to send stolen data after compromising a machine to the attacker-controlled server (listening posts), but in the case of smartphones, malware has an alternative way to send stolen data to the attackers i.e. via SMS.
But for collecting stolen data via SMS, one has to deal with a major issue – to sort and analyse bulk messages received from multiple targeted devices.
To solve this issue, the CIA created a simple Android application, dubbed Highrise, which works as an SMS proxy between the compromised devices and the listening post server.
"There are a number of IOC tools that use SMS messages for communication and HighRise is a SMS proxy that provides greater separation between devices in the field ("targets") and the listening post" by proxying ""incoming" and "outgoing" SMS messages to an internet LP," the leaked CIA manual reads.

What I understood after reading the manual is that CIA operatives need to install an application called "TideCheck" on their Android devices, which are set to receive all the stolen data via SMS from the compromised devices. . . "
